MaxCell – Core Philosophy

Each Cell is Unique!

So are each of its neighbor relationships!

Why to condemn them to a herd culture, then?

By leaving their critical parameters at their default levels!

Respect their individuality, instead!

Give them what they ask for… and allow your

network to perform at its best!
